Subject: [patch] staging: r8188eu: cleanup by using "len" consistently
Date: Fri, 04 Apr 2014 21:18:55 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140404211855.GA13921@mwanda> (raw)

"*(p + 1)" and "len" are the same thing.  For reviewers who don't know
that, then this code is worrying because we cap "len", but pass
"*(p + 1)" to memcpy().

I have changed the code to use "len" throughout.
